After recently helping my family member install his new WGen9500DF generator (with a separate purchased amps/watts display), I purchased this WGen5300s to replace our 6 year old unit. In the past week, I have setup as per the instructions and tested it under no load conditions during the break-in period. It has started, operated & checked out just just as the reviews stated. Although our old gen has been very reliable during the Gulf Coast electrical power outages, we believe this unit will be as reliable, use less fuel & operate more quietly. We also like that the new unit is backed by a 3 year vrs 1 year warranty. The only room for improvement that I would suggest for the WGen gens, would be to add an amperage &/or wattage indication to the VFT display panel. We look forward to years of reliable service for our WGen3500s.

I bought this unit on May 5th it was delivered on the 13th. Set it up this morning and checked it out, every thing seems to be fine. It has electric start so after I put on the wheels and front feet and added the oil, connected the battery all I had to do was push the start switch and in a matter of seconds the generator came to life. I let it run a bit before I tried quite a few different appliances. The generator handled all with no problem. I only put in less than a gallon of gas and since I do not need the unit now [ bought this for emergency power outages ] I let the unit run until the gas ran out, which took over two hours to run out. I think this will be exactly what we need if we lose power. Quite easy for this 75 year old man to handle and move around. well made generator, made by a famous old name company westinghouse

So far so good. Does what I need and no issues to report. Only observation is upon assembly, the flange bolt for the mounting foot extends into the angled metal of the foot, preventing a flush contact. I was still able to tighten down sufficiently however.

Quiet compared to most generators this size. Easy to operate. Helped 6 neighbors with generator problems during 8-day power outage during Ian. Plus, my 22-year-old Champion that broke a piston. Picked Westinghouse because of the availability, online, of how to guides and manuals.

We bought this generator to replace an eleven-year-old Honda model that finally died. We live in a remote, heavily wooded area, and often lose power. My husband, 81 and I, 75, both a bit wobbly, managed to easily unpack and set this up on our own in about 30 minutes. The instructions are well written, extremely clear, and logical. The unit itself is logical, everything marked and instructions easy to understand. New features we are thrilled about: electric starter means I can start this by myself; the fuel gage makes it easier to determine fuel levels in the dark, and the CO2 shut off is a great safety feature. This generator runs our well pump, oil furnace, refrigerator, household lights, microwave, toaster oven, internet & WIFI, TVs etc. without a problem. Plus, it seems quieter and appears to run cleaner. After getting it all set up, we ran it for about 30 minutes without issue. We're quite happy with our purchase. Just read the instructions and follow each step as outlined and you won't have a problem.

I purchased this item because I'm working on a shed an needed power. it started up right out of box on first pull i was shocked. but after running for awhile i turned off and tried to restart an nothing then i read book and it said, that if it was warmed up i didn't need to have choke on when i turned off choke it started right up. WOW was so happy didn't have to stress out over this.

I bought this 1 month ago, product had great reviews and top rated, WGen5300sc 6600 watts is more compact than previous 6,000 watts generators. I like the electric start function and easy directions plus fuel level gauges on top of the unit for night viewing.I

Just arrived. Perfect condition. Followed the manual instruction for setup, hit the start button and it powered up without issue. Runs quieter than expected. Tried out a couple of appliances (microwave and freezer) and it powered both with little noticeable change in revs.

We got this generator 2 months ago. We are very impressed with this model. Just enough power to run our mobile home. We got the electric start model for the fact she will be able to use much easier. The price was right on. Nothing could compare to it in this running watt range. It had 100s of reviews and 99% were good or better. Almost can't wait for that north Easter here in Maine. Well maybe we can wait a little longer.

Got the 5300s generator. The s is for electric start. Started on the first try. A break in period of one hour is suggested. It runs smooth and not as loud as our previous Generac 5000. One small complaint would be the short funner for adding in oil. I think they should add a couple fo inches to it.
